| Message | Im a touch leery on article two to be honest, but I like the overall spirit of the bill. |

| Message | Yeah, i had to really think about placing article two in the bill, but in the end I thought that having greater control over what is imported into our nation is essential to having a strong economy. |

| Message | Fortunately, our previous Foreign Affairs Ministers have negotiated free trade agreements. It seems that the Christian League is more hypocrit that what we thought. Aren't you claiming that our country is Conservative? Aren't you claiming that you are a Conservative? Aren't you supporting tariffs? Is that Conservatism? |

| Message | We weighed article two against the overall bill, and decided to support it. last time I checked the Liberals are the ones who tried to shut down our boarders unconstitutionally, have fought against immigration, taking refugees, allowing nations to open embassies in Lodamun, raised corporate and luxury taxes several times over, and have attempted to make foreign investment in national companies totally illegal. Im decently sure that all of that does much more to harm our international reputation and propensity to trade with other nations than reciprocal tariffs ever will, especially considering that almost all of our major trade partners have no tariffs on us anyways. Anything else? |
